Quite a nice fishing session today with 20+ graylings with the pictured one between 42/45 cm. Nicest I caught so far.

I fished in a small local river called « La Lesse » in Belgium.

What a beauty! Thanks for sharing! I don’t know much at all about European freshwater fish!

Beautiful fish! Hope it was painless and you released it after. :)

Well it went back as fast as possible for sure, they are too precious to risk. Painlessness I can’t say though. It’s quite the conundrum honestly.

I understand. Fishing in itself does sound very calming and nice to be in nature. It is probably not your intent to hurt anything, good to keep in mind that it might and look to mitigate that. Good thing you are at least aware and respectful. Enjoy nature!

It took my brain a while to figure out I was looking inside a net with it casting shadows.
